Leap of Faith, based on the film comedy about a flim-flam preacher who comes to a small town, stars four-time Tony Award nominee Raúl Esparza. It begins previews April 3 and will open on April 26.

The musical, with book by Warren Leight and Janus Cercone, has music by Academy Award winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid, Sister Act).

Here's how producers bill the musical: "When his traveling ministry breaks down in a small Kansas town, part-time reverend and full-time con artist Jonas Nightingale (Esparza) quickly pitches a tent and invites the locals to a revival. As he cons the crowds and trades miracles for money, he'll have to face a woman determined to stop him, a boy who puts his faith to the test, and maybe even his own redemption."
